Abstract
An assembly device, in particular a fully automatic assembly device for producing microsystem technical products and for assembling components in the semiconductor industries, comprising an assembly table, a material transport system that transports the products to be placed with components, at least one transport system mounted on the assembly table, and at least one movable component transport unit with at least one assembly head. The component transport unit(s) is/are arranged on one or more carrier system(s) displaceable by means of a transport system in parallel to the direction of transport of the products to be placed with components, which products are in turn displaced by the material transport system(s). The material transport system consists of at least two individual transport systems that run parallel, each individual transport system being provided with separately controllable drive systems, and the assembly device in addition comprising at least one information memory for receiving and processing component-specific data of a plurality of components within a component reservoir, and of data relative to the position thereof within the component reservoir, the control of the component transport unit(s) and/or the assembly table and of the thereon attached material transport system ensuing on the basis of these data.
